UTUVO Player Go brings the music and video you already have into one focused player. Download it free for local files and Apple Music, then optionally unlock Player Go Full with one purchase—never a subscription. START FREE Import audio and video from Files, browse Apple Music, search your library, build playlists, manage the queue, use AirPlay and background playback, and control playback from Apple Watch. These core features do not require Player Go Full. BUILD ONE LIBRARY Search by title, artist, album or lyrics and keep your listening history on your device. Player Go Full adds supported network drives, cloud connections and personal media servers to the same library. HEAR WHAT IS ACTUALLY PLAYING See available codec, sample rate, bit depth, channel count and output-route evidence without unsupported audio claims. Player Go Full adds headphone correction and advanced sound, video, subtitle, bookmark and lyrics tools. PLAY MORE FORMATS Use the native playback path for common audio and video, with a VideoLAN-based universal decoder path for many additional containers and codecs. Format and feature availability varies by file, device and decoder. PLAYER GO FULL — ONE PURCHASE Unlock compatible WebDAV, SMB, FTP, SFTP, NFS and DLNA sources, plus supported cloud storage, Subsonic, Navidrome, Jellyfin, Emby and Plex servers. Save selected remote media for offline playback and use headphone correction plus advanced playback tools. Player Go Full is a one-time non-consumable In-App Purchase with no recurring subscription. Credentials can be kept device-only in Keychain when you explicitly choose to remember them. APPLE MUSIC, HONESTLY Browse and play your Apple Music library and catalog with MusicKit. An Apple Music subscription and regional availability may be required. Dolby Atmos is shown only when MusicKit reports it; hardware rendering is never guessed. MADE FOR YOUR APPLE DEVICES Continue playback from the Lock Screen and Control Center, choose AirPlay output, use the iPad sidebar, control playback from Apple Watch and see recent playback from the widget. UTUVO Player Go does not include music or video. You are responsible for having the rights and permission to access or play media you add or connect.
